Housing Staff Training Project

2017

The FY17 Housing Staff Training Project is a continuation effort to improve the quality of training available to all supported housing providers in the housing services spectrum. This project will support the goals of maintaining housing and preventing homelessness for people with disabilities in the community by increasing the capacity of providers to house individuals with intense behavioral health needs. This project has two components, one for training through the Alaska Training Cooperative (AKTC) with the Center for Human Development at UAA targeting housing providers and a new component of training resources for developing the capacity, competencies and workforce capabilities for serving beneficiaries with Alzheimers disease and related dementia. The AKTC component focuses on Crisis Prevention Institutes Nonviolent Crisis Intervention and other targeted trainings for assisted living homes and supported housing providers. The second component exists through a partnership with Alzheimers Resource of Alaska (ARA), and focuses on developing and delivering dementia care specific training for Assisted Living Home providers while expanding the number of certified Dementia Care Mappers available in the state.
